Snell has established a new sales office in Dubai and appointed Dipesh Makwana as local Technical Sales Manager, to provide pre-sales support for the company’s product range to customers throughout the Middle East. He will report directly to Naresh Subherwal, President, Asia Pacific & Middle East for Snell.
‘The media landscape in the Middle East is one of the most vibrant and fastest growing in the world,’ Subherwal says. ‘Since most networks have active HD and 3G operations, there is a wealth of opportunity for Snell solutions. With his technical expertise and background in customer solutions, Dipesh will be able to provide the local support Middle Eastern customers need to build future-proof operations for HD and beyond.’
Prior to joining Snell, Makwana was Sports Products Specialist at Orad Hi-Tec Systems, where he provided project management and systems integration for customers’ sports production-related workflow, and assisted development of the company’s tapeless production servers and sports replay servers. Previously, he served for ten years at BSkyB, starting as VT/EVS operator and moving to MCR operator, a role in which he assisted with the network’s migration to HD and served in key engineering functions. Makwana is a graduate of the University of Salford in Manchester, UK.
‘Snell has a well-deserved global reputation for delivering the media industry’s most reliable and highest quality products, with deep levels of expertise in video and television production,’ says Makwana. ‘I’m looking forward to helping the company expand its market presence in the Middle East and working to provide comprehensive solutions to our customers.’
